Villa Diodati - A NiaD writing event

I’ve had the concept of a ghost story sitting around for a few years, so this is the kick I needed to finally sit down and write it.

I will burn the incense and perform the sacred rites in an effort to summon the muse. If she cooperates….

But she is a fickle bi- (loud knock) hang on….

Aaargh!

FYI the person previously known and registered as ianhart has been precipitously transformed into a doppelgânger entitled Dr_Wombat. (FYFI this is not Dr_Wombat’s entry in the ghost story competition)

Hello @Dr_Wombat
I will let the residents in my backyard know your details as they will be pleased to know that there is a specialist for them (backyard wombats in Warburton, Victoria). :joy:

FYEFI, @michaelhendrsn Dr_Wombat is not synonymous with wombat doctor.

Hilarious although no surprises. They will be disappointed! :joy:

That pigfender and his hocus pocus!

Let the ghosts flow freely!
Just saying.

I’m 5k words into the almost finished first draft. Damn thing keeps changing on me. This one may not be submitted as I like it “as is” and don’t like it when folks issue significnat revisions to a published thing. Not for any good reason, just because I an a$$hole.

I’m oficially writing the story VicK and I always talked about.

Pigfender… My wife is going to have words (and a frypan) for you.
